Hey I’ve been doom scrolling and majority of people are saying if you don’t take further maths alongside maths chem physics you basically have no chance of getting in ? Is this true?

Hey I don’t think that’s true cuz here’s what I found on the university of Cambridge website:

Best A level subjects and combinations if you’re interested in Maths or Science courses at Cambridge
Maths and science courses at Cambridge include Mathematics, Natural Sciences (Physics, Biology, Chemistry), Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Engineering, Medicine and Veterinary Medicine. You can find a full list of courses on our courses page.
We strongly recommend that you choose 3 of these A levels:
Biology
Chemistry, which is useful if you want to study Chemical Engineering, Biological Sciences or Medical Sciences
Physics
Mathematics
Further Mathematics, which is essential if you want to study Mathematics or Computer Science and very useful if you want to study Engineering, Economics, Chemical Engineering, or Natural Sciences (if you want to specialise in Physics). If your school doesn’t offer Further Mathematics and you live in England, you can join the Further Mathematics Support Programme.

So yeah I think you’re good
